Once, a professor announced a pop quiz. The students in the class groaned, there were loud "naaahhhh!!"s And "not again!"s— nothing out of the normal. The professor distributed the question papers. And when they all saw it...

.... it was blank.

Except for a little black dot in the centre.

They all turned to the professor, and he smirked

They all turned to the professor, and he smirked.

"I want you all to write a few lines on what you see."

The students looked at each other, shrugged at the thought of the professor gone mad, and started writing.

Next day, when the professor handed them their results, he smiled and said;

"You see, every one wrote about what they saw. And they all wrote about the dot. No one saw the white sheet of paper behind it. That one little black dot in the centre took over the white paper."

Now what do we understand here? No one is gonna see the white paper...

.... That doesn't mean its not there.

There's always a silver lining, even if we can't see it. We just have to change perspective. That's when we'll be able to look at the white personality of a person behind that one little black mark— that one little black flaw. The stars are always there... even though they are hidden behind the clouds, or not visible because of the sun.

Learn to look at the paper... not the dot.
